Re: CVS commit: src/distrib/i386/floppies

Going 3-floppy right now is not an option as long as our ISO creation
groks 2.88MB floppie max.

We have the host tools we need to create i386-bootable ISOs with
arbitrary-sized floppies.  I use a command sort of like this:

$TOOLDIR/bin/nbmakefs -x -F metalog -N $INSTDIR/etc -t cd9660 \
   -o "rockridge,bootimage=i386;$DESTDIR/usr/mdec/cdboot,no-emul-boot" \
   netbsd.iso $INSTDIR

Adapting distrib/cdrom/Makefile to use nbmakefs is left as an exercise
for the reader.

see "_easily_ create ISOs".
Also, src/etc/Makefile's iso-image target probably should be adjusted - or one of the two be nuked, I don't really care.
